None of the people present expected that Zheng Zhilong would say such things, and for a moment I didn't know how to say it.

There was nothing to consider in this matter at first. After all, everyone had already agreed to directly knock down Zheng Zhilong and swallow up everything he had. His team and his base would not take his surname from now on.

But when Zheng Zhilong said this, the few people hesitated.

Because everyone present knew that this time the attack on Japan was a plan made by His Majesty himself, and they also understood how much His Majesty valued this aspect.

Moreover, both the military and anyone else think that this is an opportunity to make great contributions. The merit of expanding territory and destroying a country is not something that ordinary people can have.

Although the Royal Navy is confident, it is also under great pressure. It is okay to fight this battle beautifully. If there are some problems, they will be spit out by people outside.

In a word, you will be drowned by all the spits.

The Royal Army fought beautifully in Liaodong. If the Royal Navy was not good at fighting beautifully, what would those people think of them?

Under such circumstances, the Royal Navy is under great psychological pressure. Whenever it can be helpful, they will want to use it. Zheng Zhilong has such abilities and conditions, so they naturally want to use it.

Although Shi Laifu is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he dare not interfere in this matter. Although he really wants Zheng Zhilong's team, he also understands that if Zheng Zhilong does not help and delays the attack on Japan, it will be a dead end.

Whoever delays such a major event will be the sinner. Do you really think that Your Majesty is reluctant to kill someone?

Shi Laifu didn't say anything.

As for Fang Zhenghua, it is even simpler. He protects the interests of the palace, that is, the interests of the emperor, and he cannot retreat in this regard.

If Zheng Zhilong is useful, then you must use it; if Zheng Zhilong is useless, Fang Zhenghua will turn a blind eye to the matter they discussed just now.

For Founderhua, the most important thing is to destroy Japan. Japan has so many supplies.

How much can Zheng Zhilong have?

It's nothing more than a fleet and some bases. This is not worth mentioning compared to Japan.

Fang Zhenghua looked at Yu Zigao and wanted to see how he did it.

Yu Zigao's eyes also narrowed, stared at Zheng Zhilong and said, "If what you said is true, I am willing to accept you and make you a meritorious person."

"If the contributions are great enough this time, I will report to the court for you. At that time, the court will not only not punish you, but will also reward you. Not to mention anything else, at least it will allow you to take off your thief and put on your official clothes."

"Thank you, Marshal." Zheng Zhilong said quickly.

He already knew his current situation and that they had to be deducted his crime.

The conflict between the two sides was first and then they had. It was their kindness to not say that they opened fire and attacked.

Now I am a person who is guilty. But they gave themselves the opportunity to make contributions. Zheng Zhilong also understood that this depends on his usefulness.

Anyway, life is saved, as long as they give themselves the opportunity to do things, they will have a way to turn the tables. Do you really think they have no means?

"Then let's talk." Yu Zigao looked at Zheng Zhilong with a solemn expression.

Zheng Zhilong nodded, did not hide it, and told all his experiences. For example, he did not hide his relationship with the Japanese base, his marriage in Japan, and even his relationship with the Japanese vassal lord.

After hearing this, Yu Zigao's eyes narrowed.

After looking at Zheng Zhilong, Yu Zigao said, "Can you persuade that vassal lord to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

"If he is willing to surrender, we can give him high-ranking officials and even large enough territory."

In this regard, Yu Zigao dared to make a promise. Anyway, the things have not been done yet, and the things are all written. If the other party thinks it is inappropriate, he will kill him directly, and there is no need to hesitate any more.

When a person dies, he will not get any benefits. The things he promised to him are not that he doesn’t want to give them, but that others are gone. In order to show that he is a person who keeps his promises, he can burn some for him.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong hesitated a little.

Yu Zigao was not in a hurry either. He was very interested in Zheng Zhilong now because Zheng Zhilong's wife was actually in Hirado.

This made Yu Zigao very happy. Yu Zigao, who had studied foreign intelligence, knew that Hirado was very important.

Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law is actually Tagawa Shizaemon, the island owner of Hirado Island.

However, Tian Chuan died early, and his wife remarried with her daughter, and remarried to a blacksmith in Quanzhou, Fujian.

This blacksmith is responsible for making swords for Hirado's master, and he can be regarded as his retainer. To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law married a widow, and this daughter's dead ghost father is a very famous figure - Takawa Qile's left guard in Hirado Island.

You should know that the bases of the Ming Navy are Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island. If the Ming and North Korea want to fight against Japan, the first stop will definitely be to fight against Hirado Island.

If they can convince Hirado Island people to surrender, they will save a lot of energy. After all, they are also dominant with naval forces, and the Japanese pirates from the Ming Dynasty were also born here. Among them, Li Dan, who also achieved success on Hirado Island for a period of time.

Although Zheng Zhilong wants to move out of Hirado Island now, he still has great influence.

Yu Zigao targeted Zheng Zhilong. Whether he persuaded surrender, seduced the enemy, or simply attacked and poisoned him, Zheng Zhilong was a very good candidate. This is also the reason why Yu Zigao was willing to listen to him.

Zheng Zhilong hesitated.

This matter is not easy to deal with.

He looked up at Yu Zigao and asked, "Is the Ming Dynasty going to join forces with North Korea this time?"

Zheng Zhilong was very worried about this matter. After all, these people also fought with the Ming army when they fought against North Korea. Of course, it was just a war that invaded North Korea. Although they also thought about fighting the Ming Dynasty, there was no hope at all.

The most critical core issue is North Korea. People on the three islands plunder North Korea a lot, so North Korea has always been very bad about them, and the hatred between the two sides is very deep.

In North Korea, three islands, including Hirado Island, are called Japanese pirates in the three islands. This shows how deep the North Korean hatred for them.

If the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were wearing pairs of pants, it would be difficult for them to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Zigao looked at Zheng Zhilong, thought for a while and said, "I know what you are worried about. In this matter, you may not believe me if I say it. But you can ask Eunuch Fang."

Yu Zigao said, pointing to Fang Zhenghua, who was sitting not far away, and said, "This is Eunuch Fang, the military supervisor sent by the palace. He can represent the meaning of the palace and can directly reflect your thoughts to Your Majesty."

"So you should understand that in this matter, what he said is more useful than what I said."

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong quickly turned to look at Fang Zhenghua, with the expression on his face very surprised.

Zheng Zhilong did not think Yu Zigao would lie to him in this matter, or did not think that Fang Zhenghua would lie to him with Yu Zigao.

Because this involves His Majesty. If it is nonsense, Yu Zigao and the others cannot bear this responsibility.

In this place of the Ming Dynasty, what is the crime of arranging the emperor at will?

So what Yu Zigao said is true.

Seeing that Yu Zigao kicked the ball to him, Fang Zhenghua said helplessly: "We can talk to you, but there is something to tell you clearly."

"We have no way to make promises about you. We can only say that we will report to Your Majesty the request you have made. As for what Your Majesty wants to do, that is Your Majesty's business. We slaves don't dare to make decisions for Your Majesty."

"Okay." Zheng Zhilong nodded quickly, bowed respectfully to Fang Zhenghua and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

Founder Zhenghua nodded and continued, "This time the Ming Dynasty did send troops with North Korea, but there are some things you don't have to worry about. The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty and North Korea is the North Korea, so you have to distinguish this matter clearly."

"As for your treatment after surrender, you have to make decisions. I will write a letter to His Majesty as soon as possible for Hirado. But one thing is that our family can tell you that North Korea does not need to worry. Even if they want to do anything, we will not allow it."

Zheng Zhilong nodded repeatedly and understood the meaning of this sentence.

To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty would not make things difficult for people like me in this matter, nor would it hurt me for the North Koreans.

This is good news for Zheng Zhilong, and this is what he is worried about.

Zhang Changzhong from the Staff Office sat aside with no expression on his face.

If anyone can make the decision or who can understand this matter, then only Zhang Changzhong will be the only one.

In the plan of the Advisory Office, there would be no way to kill all the people on the Japanese island.

Expanding your own vitality and surrendering them is originally a planned thing.

But it was originally necessary to fight a few battles to achieve deterrence, so that would work. Now with Zheng Zhilong, this step seems to be able to jump. After all, Hirado is too important, and the navy in their hands is also very important. The sailors on the ship are experienced and after careful practice, they will be a good navy.

You should know that the price of cultivating a sailor is still very expensive. If these Japanese sailors surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they will be used as cannon fodder to fight a former war, which is not better than the Koreans?

As for whether the North Koreans were satisfied or not, this matter was not within the scope of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the promise, Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If so, I am willing to go back. But this time I hope someone can go back with me, after all, the court also needs an envoy."

"This is no problem." Yu Zigao agreed with a smile: "In order to show sincerity, I will send someone to go back quickly. The specific candidates need to be discussed, but you won't wait too long."
